THE STUDENT REPORTED THAT HE WAS PERFORMING TRAFFIC PATTERN TOUCH-AND-GO OPERATIONS. ON FINAL FOR RUNWAY 19L, HE OBSERVED A BOEING 737 CROSSING THE EXTENDED FINAL APPROACH PATH ON A PERPENDICULAR TAXIWAY. THE TAXIWAY CROSSED ABOUT 500 FEET PRIOR TO THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 19L. THE STUDENT SAID HE ADDED SOME POWER TO ENSURE THAT HE HAD SUFFICIENT VERTICAL CLEARANCE FROM THE AREA OF JET EXHAUST/TURBULENCE, THEN RESUMED HIS APPROACH TO THE RUNWAY WITH THE ADDITION OF FULL FLAPS. AS THE AIRCRAFT NEARED THE TOUCHDOWN POINT, IT SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A HIGH SINK RATE AND BEGAN DRIFTING TO THE LEFT. THE PILOT SAID HE ADDED FULL POWER TO GO AROUND, BUT NEGLECTED TO TURN OFF THE CARBURETOR HEAT AND RAISE THE FLAPS. THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT CLIMB AND CONTINUED DRIFTING LEFT OFF THE RUNWAY UNTIL THE NOSE GEAR STRUCK A RUNWAY SIGN. THE AIRCRAFT THEN IMPACTED ON THE RIGHT WING TIP AND NOSE ON THE RUNWAY.
Probable Cause: the student's inadequate compensation for the existing crosswind condition, and his failure to raise the landing flaps and turn off the carburetor heat during the attempted go-around.
